The Ukraine/Russia Threads: An Inventory

And the Ukrainian media, and locals, to hear some retellings of it.

It is on topic enough, U. Especially if you read it to the point where it devolves into every other Ukraine/20th Century history thread. It certainly isn't all about the TSO's decision. You complained about that turn yourself, after all.

But the appearance today of a fourth thread on the subject of what Canada/Stephen Harper is doing to support Ukraine is more what made me think it was time to do a tally.

I'm sure you can glean all those things from it, Sean. And yes, it is a tragedy.

I did point out two reasons why I decided to do it, though.

There is plenty of verifiable and debunkable information in there. And there is a range with plenty of information that lies in between those extremes. The Guardian isn't Fox News and Novaya Gazeta isn't RT. 

Problem is that we are no further ahead if all we are looking for is things to reinforce our own opinon and the interpretation is just as black and white.

You might notice I don't frequent those threads, and I don't think there is quite the same amount of duplication. Though I do recall reading more than one complaint about them from others, so clearly it is an issue. In any case, it doesn't invalidate the question. And I am not sure what you mean in that first sentence.
